| Description | France, Paris (75) A Morris column is an element of urban furniture initially Parisian, but present in many French cities. Cylindrical in shape, it is mainly used as a support for the promotion of shows and films. If its silhouette and its general appearance have changed little since its creation, improvements and new functions have appeared over time. Today, for example, it can be illuminated after dark. It can be rotating for better display of the posters, and these are frequently protected from bad weather and incivility by glazing. The space within it is sometimes used to store road cleaning equipment, to house toilets or public telephones. |
